Subject:Request for information on Hong Kong Dishes
Posted By: Lisa Fri, Jan 15, 2021 IP: 98.234.33.122
Hi, I have some dishes from Hong Kong that I hope someone can tell me more about.
I inherited these from my grandpa. My grandparents moved to the US in the late 1940s, and they had a Chinese restaurant. They had family who lived (relocated) in Hong Kong. Family or friends probably gave these as gifts to my grandparents. I don't think we/my grandparents ever used these dishes. I do not recognize them. They probably sat on a shelf for a long time until they moved out of their house, and then they lived in a box.
There are 6 9.25" plates and 6 8" plates.
I was wondering how old they are, if this was a popular style at the time, what it's made of (porcelain?), the meanings of the designs and colors, and anything else.
I tried googling around, but Google showed me lots of websites selling dishes and not anything about history. Thank you so much!

Very typical design eminating out of Hong Kong. Circa 1960's.
